Volunteer ​at Soma Matha Spiritual Center
Volunteers are crucial part of the running of the Soma Matha. It is by the dedicated efforts of volunteers that our service is possible. ​All service done for a spiritual center is considered Seva or selfless service. There are many areas one could offer their time to such as: Fundraising, Temple Planning, Data Organization, Book Editing, Advertising, Plant Care, Cleaning, and, Event Set-up. ​
What is Karma Yoga?
Seva (spiritual service also called karma yoga) is one of the best ways to prepare a person to receive divine grace.  It is not possible to fill pots full of mud with pure water without first dumping the mud.  People face obstacles and dis-ease on account of their own karmas (their actions).  To be free from the plight of karma and to create punyam (merit) needed to receive good things, seva is the best remedy. 

​Spiritual service offered to a Guru is a very powerful way to free a person from the situations that bind them in the world because by the Guru’s grace, the practice of Seva works inwardly on them as they work to complete certain outer tasks.  It is said that if a person desires something in the world, that they must work to give what they desire to others.  This is the only lasting path to fulfillment.  Spiritual service offered with compassion and selflessness frees a person from all ills.
